all-in

no sweeter sound to my ears than all-in discussing @polymarket for the entire first section

also hosted a meetup last night and every single person knew polymarket — not all of them knew why it was different from polls, but it clicked after a quick explanation

/ted | exploring the onchain frontier | surfing @ venice, ca | eating @ gjusta / gjelina

except then some of the guys proceeded to go “I’m bearish on crypto” and I was like “wait polymarket is crypto” and they were like “no we would say that’s blockchain not crypto”

interesting

oh gosh
'blockchain not crypto' is still a thing?

these are all really smart people who are either founders or engineers interested in new technologies

they’re turned off by “crypto” but curious about “blockchain”

so yes it’s still a thing and maybe why we still haven’t made a dent towards mass adoption

crypto - speculation 🍺
blockchain - sophistication 🍷

have gotten this twice last week, didnt realize this was still happening

Ok idk about outside India, but companies / MNC’s here have been using blockchain technology as a backend solution for several years now. Perhaps that's the reason, or they believe in the technology itself, rather than the people.
